Quasijarus Media: can anyone here write TK50s?

[Mark Wickens]

I have two TK50 drives attached to a VAX 4000/90 running OpenVMS, although I 
could attach a TK50 to a Linux/SCSI setup. Is this any use? Oh, and I live in 
the UK.

How many tapes does the software occupy, and what format do they need to be 
written in? 

Regards,

Mark
